User Ratings and Reviews
4 Stars Great for audiobooks
I have been very happy with my Sansa Fuze MP3 player. I have only used it to listen to audiobooks and so far, I have no complaints. The battery life is long, it’s easy to use and the screen is very clear.
4 Stars Good Bang for the Buck
I spent a lot of time researching digital media players when my previous one died, reading reviews on Amazon, CNet, and a few other websites. After first ruling out Apple iPods because of price, file format compatibility, and syncing features, I seriously investigated Microsoft Zunes, Creative Zens, and the SanDisk Sansa Fuzes. I finally settled on the Fuze, and have been pleased. The controls are pretty intuitive, and transferring music to the device is easy. Transferring movies requires a media converter which is free for download from SanDisk. The display is adequate, providing enough quality for most movies, but I didn’t buy this to play movies. The provided earbuds are adequate, and the battery life is decent. My only complaint is that the docking connector is proprietary. Overall I’m pleased with the Fuze.
5 Stars Simply the best for the price
You don’t need to spend a lot of money to get a quality MP3 player. Highly recommend it!
4 Stars Fast delivery! But software is junk!
I received my SanDisk Sansa Fuze 8gb in just a couple of days. Very satisfied with the company (SF Planet) that shipped it! The price was excellent when I bought it and the MP3 works and sounds fine. I was surprised with the good sound from the earphones that I got. The only big issue is the software from SanDisk: it should be improved; its hard to upload pictures and videos or simply does not work at all most of the times. It crashes a lot! I have to look out around for third-parties software to achieve this. There are many complaints around the web about it, so I don’t understand why Sandisk has not udpated the software and fix some bugs with this MP3 player.
4 Stars Great value
I was torn between an iPod and Sansa Fuze 8 GB. Glad I went with the Sansa. It is by far a better value for the money, and it works well. It may not have the bells and whistles of an iPod, but it is totally reliable, intuitive to use, and I am free from the tyranny of Apple and iTunes. Highly recommended.
